At the Movies in the Time of Coronavirus: Blues Brothers (1980)

Immigrationprof has ran a series of upbeat movies to watch as the nation looks for diversions.  Blues Brothers (1980) is a great classic film to catch up on in the days of the coronavirus.

Here is a plot summary from IMDb:

“After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit `The Penguin’, the last of the nuns who raised them in a boarding school. They learn the Archdiocese will stop supporting the school and will sell the place to the Education Authority. The only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The Blues Brothers want to help, and decide to put their blues band back together and raise the money by staging a big gig. As they set off on their `mission from God’ they seem to make more enemies along the way. Will they manage to come up with the money in time?”

The film has a great duo of stars:

John Belushi … Joliet Jake

Dan Aykroyd … Elwood
